Why did the Russians never had a problem with this until now all of sudden with a shameless hypocrisy? (And then continued it, and cluster firebombing, and FAE shelling.)
Russians have a problem with it when it is directed at them, not so much when they or their allies are the ones doing it.
Just like the Americans.
But Russia does not claim to be 'the arsenal of democracy' or the bastion of human rights, or to bring 'freedom and democracy' to Libya and Syria.
And actually Russia claimed very lofty things about their interventions in Syria and Libya.
They also for example made a propaganda feature film about the ridicalously evil (even their flag motif is a skull in a cartoonish and probably self aware "are we baddies") Wagner mercenary group about how they save oppressed Africans or something.

Russia didn't intervene in Libya, did it?
See, you didn't even notice (Turkey defeated Wagner in Libya at Tripoli).
American press and people simply hysterize about American crimes, real or alleged or imagined, all the time.
Just look at the recent reaction to the restart of 6 Days of Fallujah.
I am aware that we occasionally hear of 'incidents'. But you can't claim that the war in Ukraine is covered anywhere remotely the same as American wars, where it is 'really cool' when bombs and missiles are used.
How many photographs of devastated cities and corpses do we see in American wars? Very few to none, yet that is all we see when it is the Evil Russians.
Huh? Just look like how everyone socially just, including other game devs, sperged the fuck out about 6 Days in Fallujah, or how just everybody are always going on about Obama and drones (despite drone strikes being accurate and limited in damage). Everyone hysterizes about WP (having forgotten the depleted uranium scare) while thermite isn't even a household name for those on the receiving side of it. Everyone in the world knows about Abu Ghraib (but were interested only when it was under the American management, not before and not after), did you ever hear the name Chernokozovo? How many people know of "My Lai" (incorrect name) versus Samashki? Game journos, who hate America, declared the Highway of Death a "war crime" somehow and said COD blamed this supposed "American crime" on the poor innocent Russia, and everyone in America and beyond just believed them like that. I could go on and on.
